WALT:write an interesting and informative story about experiencing a fake Auckland eruption
I was cooking some food and all of a sudden I heard a loud bang outside near mission bay and saw smoke in the air.Then I saw smoke coming out of the water and it started to bubble up and it finally exploded with a loud bang! and saw black smoke and white ash.It wen bigger and bigger and the Pyroclastic surge started coming towards my house.
At the time I was scared but I also knew from going to year nine science what caused the new Auckland volcano. And that is when it comes out of the hotspot and the thermal plumes melts the crust and it starts to rumble and blow up. 1 hour later everything is covered in ash and the lava was coming out of the volcano slowly.

Hi Fineasi, here's your point score!
You correctly used (for 3 points each):
ash
pyroclastic surge
hotspot
thermal plume
crust
lava
I liked how you used the word 'bubble' to describe the water, and 'rumble' for the sound being created as the magma pushed through the crust.
You didn't lose any points for sentences not making sense or for forgetting any capital letters at the start of sentences.
So your total score was 25!
I think your explanation of a hotspot was clear, but you could also have included that the ground shook as the magma created at the bottom of the crust tried to push its way up through the crust, creating pressure in the rock and causing earthquakes!
Thanks for sharing your story :)
Hi Fineasi. I really like the way you showed how you value your y9 science learning! The technical vocabulary you used (science words) makes the story really interesting.
